Review: The Pink Panther

This was not quite what I expected. I have seen all Peter Sellers' films where he plays the bumbling Inspector Cluso and loved them all. But Steve Martin as Cluso? No,no,no! Don't get me wrong, I think Steve Martin is a great comedian, but not as Cluso.I know this is a book review, but I wanted to get that off my chest, and it's only my view.This book wasn't my cup of tea, perhaps because it feels like it was done in a hurry in order to jump on the band-wagon. No soul! But who am I to say? One man's meat is another man's poison.

About Me

I like anything that makes me laugh, from the nostalgia of the Carry On films to the bumbling Inspector Clouseau. Peter Sellers made me laugh so hard I would fall off the cinema seats. Then there’s television.Frasier, Miranda and Lead Balloon and many more that have made me forget life for a while with a belly laugh.
I really believe laughter in our lives is important, for our immune systems and well being. I remember reading Wilt by Tom Sharpe. It was a low time in my life, but I couldn’t stop myself from laughing out loud while in a hospital waiting room. Everybody in that room looked up and smiled, and for a brief moment we were linked by humour.
